Case Study of Automatic Software Deployment on NI Linux RT

March 25, 2024, 16:00 – 16:45 UTC

In this case study, I will show tools for automating software deployment on the NI Linux RT system. The discussed scenario assumes the deployment of a custom software package with a specific configuration on an offline PXI with the NILRT system (without access to the remote NI package repository). I will discuss the tools necessary to accomplish such a task. Finally, I will present conclusions about the advantages and disadvantages/drawbacks of the implemented solution.
